I still like this version of the Audi interior, as it has nice tactile controls for climate, etc. No more direct preset buttons here either.

Our 19 X5 still has BMW's programmable preset buttons, volume ****, touch screen, and idrive controller and hard controls for most HVAC systems.

I can never tell apart which generation is new with German cars. Porsche is the worse offender. They all look exactly the same year in and year out, to me at least.

This is just midcycle refresh.

New easy way to tell new model is it has even bigger grill than before.

As far as 911 - thats why the older ones keep their value so well lol.
New 992 is beautiful design as was almost every other 911.

New 3 Series is made in Mexico also.

I wish more automakers would come to US and build plants just like they do in order to sell cars in China.

Probably not. I think engineering design is the number one influencer.

Awesome. The X3 M is a little hardcore for my taste, the X3 M40i seems to be a great balance of comfort and performance. I have two German shepherds 85lbs and 110lbs and they take up a lot of the rear space, but X3 could work. The X5 is a bit too big for my needs. Thanks for the feedback

I'm surprised they didn't do the same interior refresh they did to the Q7 to bring it into the new interior layout. I think that shows the strength in 3 row growth vs 2 row

I mean, it's nice. I wouldn't be upset driving it, but I'm not running out to plop down $40k+ for it. It's not really that exciting.

I have not driven the X3M as it was just coming out after I ordered the M40i.
Definitely test both of them as I think the X3M Competition would be a beast to have. Things like the M seats, higher quality leather, CF Interior trim and other touches make the X3M interior more luxurious. Obviously the X3M would be even faster and handle better. You can’t go wrong either way.
